Antonio Brown Remains In Walking Boot

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) is still in a walking boot. It doesn't sound like Brown made much progress during the team's bye in Week 9. The 33-year-old suffered an ankle sprain in Week 6 and hasn't played since, and fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him […]

Sam Darnold To Undergo MRI On His Shoulder

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule told reporters that quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will have an MRI exam on Monday, and the focus remains on his health heading into Week 10. If he cannot play against the Arizona Cardinals this weekend, P.J. Walker would get the start under center. The 24-year-old also recovered from a […]

Darren Fells Granted His Release

Detroit Lions veteran tight end Darren Fells asked for and was granted his release on Monday, according to a source. Fells will go on waivers and could provide an interesting option for tight end-needy teams. The 35-year-old was targeted just five times in seven games for the 0-8 Lions, catching four passes for 43 yards. […]

Will Fuller Already Ruled Out For Week 10

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (finger), who remains on Injured Reserve, will not play in Week 10 on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Fuller has been out since breaking his finger in Week 4 and he's played in only two games this season after finishing out a suspension during the first two weeks […]

Rays Pick Up Mike Zunino's 2022 Option

The Tampa Bay Rays exercised catcher Mike Zunino's $7 million option for the 2022 season at Sunday's deadline. The move will make the backstop one of the team's highest-paid players next year in his fourth season with Tampa. The Rays declined Zunino's $4.5 million team option last year, but he re-signed with the team for […]

Broncos Defense Stymies Cowboys Offense In Stunner

The Denver Broncos defense wasn't really given any chance on the road against the Dallas Cowboys offense with a returning Dak Prescott in Week 9, especially after just trading All-Pro pass-rusher Von Miller earlier in the week. No Miller, no problem. The Broncos stunned the football world by winning 30-16 and holding the best offense […]

Brandon McManus Misses Two Kicks In Win Over Dallas

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus entered the Week 9 game against the Dallas Cowboys with just one missed kick in eight weeks. He ended up missing his second field-goal attempt and first extra-point try in the surprising 30-16 upset win, but he also made three field goals (including a 53-yarder) and another extra point. Despite […]

Courtland Sutton Puts Up Another Stinker

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has three catches for 49 yards on six targets in the last two weeks combined since Jerry Jeudy returned from his high ankle sprain. Sutton caught just one of his two targets for a season-low nine yards in the 30-16 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, and […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Sees Extra Looks In Week 9 Win

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam caught four of five targets for 25 yards receiving in the Week 9 upset win over the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 30-16. His five targets were a season-high and were tied for second-most on the team on Sunday. Okwuegbunam aggravated his knee injury against Dallas but was […]

Jerry Jeudy Has Team-High Six Catches In Win Over Cowboys

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was tops on the team in receptions (six) and targets (eight) and was able to gain 69 yards receiving in the 30-16 Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Jeudy suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 and returned last weekend to catch all four of […]

Tim Patrick Leads Broncos In Receiving For Second Straight Week

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick led the team in receiving for the second straight week and also caught his fourth touchdown of the season in the 31-16 upset win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Patrick caught four of his five targets for a team-leading 85 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. The […]

Melvin Gordon III Stretches Touchdown Streak To Three Games

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had a season-high 21 carries for 80 yards and a touchdown in the upset win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9 by a score of 30-16. Gordon added two catches on his three targets for 15 yards. He has now found the end zone four times in […]

Javonte Williams Reaches Century Mark For The First Time

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams had his first 100-yard rushing game of his career in the shocking 31-16 Week 9 upset win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. He had a season-high 17 carries on the day for 111 yards (6.5 yards per carry), but he wasn't targeted in the passing game. Williams […]

Teddy Bridgewater Engineers Huge Upset Over Cowboys

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater led one of the most improbable upsets of the NFL season on Sunday in a 30-16 Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys on the road. Bridgewater went 19-for-28 for 249 yards and a touchdown and he added a touchdown run on a QB sneak. He also converted a two-point […]

Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood Don't Receive Qualifying Offers

San Francisco Giants starting pitchers Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood did not receive one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offers from the team on Sunday. The 31-year-old DeSclafani had a career season in San Francisco in 2021 after signing a one-year, $6 million deal. The right-hander had an excellent 3.17 ERA in his 31 starts while striking […]

Giants Extend Qualifying Offer To Brandon Belt

The San Francisco Giants extended first baseman Brandon Belt a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer on Sunday. If Belt declines the offer and signs with another team on the open market, the Giants will receive draft-pick compensation. The 33-year-old has become one of the better hitters in the league in the last two seasons. Belt […]

Justin Verlander Receives Qualifying Offer From Astros

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander received a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from the team on Sunday. If Verlander rejects the offer and signs with another club in free agency, the Astros would receive draft-pick compensation. The right-hander could end up accepting the offer, however, after missing almost two full seasons due to a […]

Carlos Rodon Doesn't Receive Qualifying Offer

Chicago White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon did not receive a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from the team on Sunday, making him a free agent. An All-Star in 2021, the 28-year-old southpaw went 13-5 last year with a 2.37 ERA to help the team win the American League Central division. There have been indications that […]

Raisel Iglesias Receives Qualifying Offer From Angels

Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias received a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from the team on Sunday. If Iglesias declines the offer and signs with another team in free agency, the Angels will receive draft-pick compensation.

Jon Gray Doesn't Receive A Qualifying Offer

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray did not receive a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from the team on Sunday. Gray, 30, could still re-sign with the Rockies and has expressed a desire to stay in Colorado. The Rockies offered Gray what was thought to be a three- or four-year deal in the range of […]

Boston Extends Qualifying Offer To Eduardo Rodriguez

The Boston Red Sox extended a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on Sunday. If Rodriguez rejects the offer, the Red Sox would receive draft-pick compensation if the southpaw signs with another team in free agency. Rodriguez had an up-and-down 2021 season for Boston, going 13-8 with a career-high 4.74 ERA (3.32 […]

Martin Perez, Garrett Richards Become Free Agents

The Boston Red Sox declined their club options on right-hander Garrett Richards ($10 million) and left-hander Martin Perez ($6 million) on Sunday, making them both free agents. Both pitchers started the year in Boston's rotation but ended the season pitching in relief. Richards will receive a $1.5 million buyout, while Perez receives a $500,000 buyout. […]

Red Sox Exercise Christian Vazquez's Option

The Boston Red Sox exercised their $7 million team option on starting catcher Christian Vazquez on Sunday. Vazquez has played all 614 games of his career with Boston and will remain with the organization for the 2022 season. The 31-year-old hit a disappointing .258 with six home runs and 49 RBI in his 458 at-bats […]

J.D. Martinez Decides To Stay With Red Sox

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez declined to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract and will remain with the team for the 2022 season. Martinez's market could markedly improve next offseason if a universal DH is implemented in baseball when the new Collective Bargaining Agreement is worked out this winter. Had he opted […]

Freddie Freeman Receives Qualifying Offer From Braves

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman received a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer, as expected, on Sunday. Freeman will obviously decline the offer. Many expect him to re-sign with Atlanta after helping them win their first World Series championship since 1995, but it's not a guarantee. The two sides engaged in contract negotiations during the […]

Corey Seager, Chris Taylor Receive Qualifying Offers

The Los Angeles Dodgers extended one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offers to both shortstop Corey Seager and infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor. Seager, a two-time All-Star and the 2020 World Series MVP and National League Championship Series MVP is expected to decline the offer as one of the top available players on the free-agent market this offseason. Despite […]

No Qualifying Offer For Clayton Kershaw

The Los Angeles Dodgers did not extend a qualifying offer to starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw was a candidate to receive a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer after completing his three-year, $93 million deal. It doesn't mean that the left-hander's tenure with the Dodgers is over after 14 years, as he could still return to […]

DeSean Jackson Says He's Signing With Raiders

Free-agent wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who was released by the Los Angeles Rams earlier this week after they failed to find a trade partner for him, said that he is going to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders. This pairing makes perfect sense after the Raiders just released former first-rounder Henry Ruggs III after he […]

Chase Edmonds Questionable To Return Against Niners

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle) is questionable to return to the Week 9 game against the San Francisco 49ers after suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter. Edmonds was seen limping to the locker room. If he is unable to return, Eno Benjamin could pick up some of Edmonds' snaps behind James […]

Kenny Golladay Makes His Return In Week 9

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) is officially active for the Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Golladay hasn't played since hyperextending his knee in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 10, so fantasy managers aren't crazy if they are hesitant to use him as a WR3/flex this weekend. […]
